"Once your goodbye is perfect, you have to leave me and not look back. Live your life. It's an awful thing to miss someone who's still here."
A short, heartbreaking, beautifully-written novella. It brought up a lot of feelings regarding my own grandfather with dementia.

”Don’t worry. I’m going to give you a balloon, Grandpa. So you can have it in space.”
“A balloon won’t stop me from disappearing, Noahnoah.” Grandpa sighs.
“I know. But you’ll get it on your birthday. As a present.”
